Love is found in our lives,
From our children, husbands, wives;
We find it in a friend who cares,
In the stranger who's willing to share.

But even when we're sad or bored,
A special love comes from our Lord;
Love is found in each new day,
In sometimes surprising ways.

Romance is not always true love,
What we need comes from above;
Love grows over many years,
Living in joy - living through tears.

Love isn't a dozen roses,
With beautiful scent for our noses;
Love isn't candy in red hearts,
It's in mind and heart that it starts.

Love is knowing that someone's needs,
Are more important than only me;
Love is unselfish and always kind,
Love is a treasure that we should find.

Love is giving and caring for a friend,
And for all men so pain can end;
Love comes from our Lord and Master,
Without Him, love can be disaster.

Ask our Lord to teach you right,
So true love is in you at night;
He'll show you love done His way,
You can share it every day.
